Experienced web developer with a passion for building high-performance websites.
What I'm looking for
I am an accomplished web developer with 8 years of experience in building and maintaining high-performance websites. Throughout my career, I have honed my skills in leveraging cutting-edge technologies including React, WordPress, Webflow, and Craft CMS to deliver beautiful, responsive, and user-friendly web solutions. I am adept at client communication, problem-solving, and swiftly adapting to new technologies.
One of my key achievements includes serving as the Director of Development at Simple Focus from 2022 to 2024, where I led a team of five developers and ensured projects were finished on time and on budget. I also mentored developers one-on-one to help expand their current skillsets. Additionally, I worked closely with project managers, designers, and operations teams to create intuitive user experiences while optimizing site speed scores.
I have extensive experience in building headless websites, design systems, and component libraries with Next.js/React, as well as custom themes and plugins for Craft CMS and WordPress. I have also built sites in Webflow, Framer, and Squarespace. In my previous role as a Lead Web Developer at Pixfunder Remix Astro, I built a full-stack web application for non-profits and schools using React and Laravel. I managed the AWS environment and implemented pixel-perfect designs from Figma and PSD. I am proficient in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and have experience with backend technologies such as PHP, Twig, MySQL, and Postgres.
